Reminiscences and Experiences of early Engineering Operations on Railroads, with Especial Reference to Steep Inclines
My first acquaintance with railroad inclined planes began in Pennsylvania, at Mauch Chunk, on the River Lehigh, in the spring of 1827, whither I had been sent by Canvass White, chief engineer, as a young assistant to go upon the survey and construction of the Lehigh Canal. At that time Josiah White, of Philadelphia, was the acting manager of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, and all the extensive works in and around Mauch Chunk were under his special charge. Erskine Hazard, his former partner, ard one of the most active directors of the company, had previously, in 1826, visited Europe and examined the coal operations in England and Wales, and had also taken note of the very limited railroad experience of that day in England.
